The Mississippi negroes who want Con-
gross to make an appropriation to send
them TO Liberia will doubtless suffer a
disappointment. Senator George, who
presented their petition in the Senate,
called attention to the fact that the body
of 1t is printed. This would seem to in
dictate that the signers OF it are not so
anxious to go to Liberia as they, or those
under whose advice they are acting, are
to create the impression that the colored
people of Mississippi are not being fairly
treated by the white people of that State.
1t is about time for the Republican
managers to begin to look toward the
South for campaign material, and this
Liberia petition may be the outcropping
OF a Republican scheme to draw express
sions Of dissatisfaction from the .colored
people Of the South with their treatment
and surroundings. The summoning of
witnesses from Texas to testify to alleged
outrages in Washington county, in that
State, as well as the Liberia petition. is
calculated to create the impression that
the bloody shirt is to be made to play a
part in the next Presidential campaign.
Gov. Ireland, OF Texas, in very vigorous
language, in st. Louis on Monday, de-
clared that the stories which the wit
nesses summoned from Texas by the
Republican Senatorial Investigating
Committee are prepared to tell have no
foundation in truth.
Colored people who scannot make a
comfortable living in Mississippi must be
lazy and idle. They would certainly not
better their condition In Liberia. They
would be much more likely to go back to
barbarism there than to advance in civil
ization.
Mississippi, and, in fact. about all the
Southern States would be better off II
they could gradually get rid Of the col.
ored people, provided their places were
taken by thrifty white population.
They are in the South to stay, however,
and 1t would be waste of money to send
a few of them to LIBERIA Whatever
money is spent in their behalf should be
applied in ways that would aid them In
improving their condition and preparing
them to exercise intelligently their rights
as citizens.

Mr.. Rea's Diiemm y,
From tAe CAicaao Neaos.


Maj. Horace Mcvicker tells an amusing
story Of the veteran Frank Rea, who Is, per-
haps, the oldest actor now ON eartn. About
four years ago Rea came on from Denver and
took up his abode in NewsYork. He was
aged and old fashioned. bur his ambition was
as big as ever and he undertook. with intense
enthusiasm, every suburban engagement that
was offered him by kindly disposed managers
and theatrical bureaus. One time he was
sent down to Sudbury, Pa, with scrub
company to give the natives Il season of melO-
drama. and Rea himself was cast as the first
old man. After the first nights performance
Rea, accompanied by one Of his fellow actors,
stroke INTO one of the Sunbury saloons, and
advanced toward the bar with the inevitable
precision and unfaltering intrepidity of Mary
Queen of Scots going to execution. Laying
down l0c. upon the counter he inquired Of
the barkeeper, in impressive tones: "Tell
me, my good sir, what Will that buy?"
That" answered the barkeeper, riveting
his basllisk gaze upon the weather beate
coin, that will huy one glass of whisky or
two glasses of beer"
The old actor looked searchngly into his
companions face as il he hoped TO discover
there some relief from the perplexity which
surged in tumultuous pillows through his
bosom. Then ne heayed a deep sigh. and
turning again to the mercenary Ganymede he
said in the profound basso voice of a seven
teenth-century tragedian, THAT being the
case, give us one glass of beer and half u glass
of whisky %

johnson. the Jumping Drummer,
From the 81. Luis Repu5licau.


ii. M. johnson, the Splinter, left Pitts
burg yesterday for Milwaukee,, where he
has secured situation as travelling salesman
for wholesale grocery house. 1t is not gen.
orally known that he was in this business be-
fore, but it Is not so very long since he was
travelling for another Milwaukee grocery
firm. He lost his situation very summarily,
and the way of 1t was this: He was drum
ming in Iowa, and arrived at the little town
of Silver Lake. While in grocery store
barefooted young cOuntryman lounged in and
went to sampling the peanuts and pecans near
where johnson was sitting. The drummer
began chatting the granger, at last asking
him if there was anything he could do. The
gray SAID yes, he'd be dog goned if he couldn't
beat the State for jumpln'. johnson began
work on him for a few dollars, but the coun-
trvman was game, and at last the grocer held
5000 of each OF their money. The jump took
place In the AFTERNOON. when. in the presence
of all the population, the granger TOOK the
money. Soon afterward Hamilton. the we'll
known jumper, went that way, and hearing
of the affair, thought he might as well have a
bit of JOhnson's money as not. and made in
qulries for him. The granger had con-
science. and also believing that the drummer
had the best of such a match tried to do HIM
a good turn aud wrote to him. He did not
know JOhnson'5 address, so addressed his
firm.
SILVER LAKE, TO-, -: DEER SUR-When-
ever Mr.. Johnsing your man comes back to
your toupe you just tel him that Teller IS
here that thinks he kin jump an if Johnsing
will cum write away he kin get bach the 2
hundred what / win off him 'tother day
cause dOan't think this Teller kin Jump
little bit. please fur to tell him an obleege
Yours Truly. JOHN GRIMES.
That settled it. When johnson returned
from his next trip his boss told him that the
firm wanted drummer and not a jumper, so
I'll. NJ. lost 5000 and his place through the
beating.

The resignation OF Col. John Jameson,
announced in our dispatches yesterday,
was doubtless the source of Joy to a large
number Of applicants for positions in the
railway mail service. Col. Jameson was
General Superintendent of that service,
and had the power to fill a large number
of minor places. A few days ago dis
patch was published Ia which 1t was
stated that Senator Beck had received
from young man in his district an offer
of percentage of his first years sal airy
II be would get him place in the raj l.
way mail service, and that the Senator
was very mad because such an offer had
been made to him, and, also, because
Republican was superintendent VINO
would not appoint anybody recommend
ed by Democrat.
Col. Jameson is now out of the way, and
Democrat has been put in his place
who will heed the recommendations OF
Democratic Senators. Senator Beck can
now get his young Kentucky friend APP
pointed to position in the railway mail
service, and, if he Is not too angry with
him for offering bribe, will doubtless
take the necessary steps at once to do so.
1t is probable that II the Republican Of
fcials who held, or still hold, positions
which do not GENE within the operations
of the civil service law, and to which a
great deal OF patronage is attached, had
been asked to resign soon after the pres
ent administrator came into power.
there would not now be so much opposi-
tion to the civil service reform law as there
appears to be among that GLASS of public
men who are supposed to have tavors to
| confer in the way of little Offices.
While Senator'S and Representatives
don't like to be bothered with applica-
tions for positions in the government SER
vice from their constituents, they never
theless feel that their Importance in the
eyes OF their home folks is greatly less
ened when they can't get a picayune
place for the son of a neighbor or friend
in any branch OF the public service.
1t is noticeable, however, that the plan
which the President is adhering to is
gradually wedding the Republicans out
of the important places. One by one
they are being succeeded by Democrats,
and all this is being done without vio-
lating the civil service law, which is
popular with the people, and which there
is every reason to think will not be per-
mItted to fall into disuse.

A Mistaken Democrat.

The Washington correspondent OF the
New York World gives the following as
the talk of a prominent Southern Demo-
crat: "The Northern Democrats are very
much mistaken in their calculations If
they think the solid South will be back Of
Cleveland for a denomination. If he 10
renominated it will not be by Southern
votes. You put this down as the actual
strength of Cleveland in the South. He
will have the solid Mississippi deleg alton
and a part OF the Louisiana deleg alton.
He will not get vote outside of that for
denomination in the entire South. If by
any odd chance Cleveland should be re-
nominated you may be certain that such
action would break up the solid South.
L know of nothing that would be so
absolutely certain OF producing such q
result. Mr.. Cleveland cannot be re-
nominated. he will be beaten by the
two-thirds rule which secured him the
last nomination. l do not think ne could
under circumstances of the most favor
able character secure bare majority,
but the rule l mention makes it abso-
lutely impossible for him to have any
chance. When the convention comes to
meet the imposslbility and impractical
bilitT of MIR. Cleveland's denomination
will be SO apparent to every one that
do not believe his name will have more
strength in the convention than did
Hayes in the Republican National Con-
vention of 1884,"
1t would be difficult to put into print
afara NJ Of in IN
Whenever man is quoted and his name
not given it may be accepted as pretty
certain that his name is not one that car
ries much weight, or that he Is a myth
cal person whom the reporter has brought
forward to assist in getting his own opin-
ions before the public.
1t is safe to say that there is no one in
the South capable of speaking intelli-
gently for the South at this time, relative
to MIR. Clevelsnd's denomination. II there
is any one who has an opinion as to how
the South will stand with respect to Mr..
Cleveland in 1888, he must have formed 1t
from what he has seen in
the newspapers of the Southern
States. How do the newspapers
speak of Mr.. Cleveland nowf Why, in
the most kindly way. There is one promi-
nent New Orleans newspaper that is q
sorehead, because it was not permitted
to dictate the Louisiana appointments,
but it is not openly hostile to air.. Cleve-
land.
AS matter of fact IL the nominating
convention were to meet next month it
is probable that Mr.. Cleveland would
get the vote of every Southern State.
How the South will stand when the con-
yention meets it is not possible for any,
one to say at present. The indications
are, however, that every Southern
delegation will be for him, on account Of
his availability il for no other reason.

Hard Luck OF a Kentucky Lover,

From the Courier Journal.
With pulses fred by dauntless hope
And by his fancy guided,
One on a rugged mountain slope
Day after day abided.
What glorious scenes were then unrolleu
Before his rapt, awed giances,
AS amethyst and pink and gold
Flushed those serene eXpanses.
Between him and the highest bliss,
Forever brightly glowing,
An insurmountable abyss
Its black crevasse was showing.
And one that drew him by it's spell
OflOvellness SO tender,
Once, when the twlllght's curtain fell.
Withdrew for aye its splendor.
And evermore the thought of this
In recollection haunts him,
And evermore the highest bliss,
Superbly showing, taunts him.
Nh Y l.. Goodrich.

What is TO hinder Savannah from hav-
ing boomI Macon has organized one
and IS preparing to give it good send
OF. 1t is announced that Atlanta has
one in preparation with which she pro-
poses to startle the whole country during
the approaching spring. Augusta has
concluded to have one also, and now talks
about a magnificent hotel, a superb thea
tire and various other improvements.
There are other Georgia towns which
have the boom foyer, and they Will be
heard from, doubtless, before many
months. In Florida and Alabama there
are so many towns which have booms, of
greater or less proportions, that it is
hardly possible to become familiar with
all of them.
But OF the Georgia towns no one APP
pears to be so ready for boom and so
capable Of sustaining one as Savannah.
All that is needed is the display of the
necessary energy and enterprise on the
part of her citizens. She has great cot
ton and naval stores trade. Her whole
sale and retail business is fine one, and
is In flourishing condition. She is a large
rice market, and her lumber trade is an
important and growing one. Two great
systems of railroads which draw business
from four States have their hesdquar-
tiers within her limits, and other railroads,
which will contribute to her prosperity,
are projected. She has had a steady
growth since the close OF the war,
| and has increased in size within
| the last half dozen years more than
| in any other half dozen years in her
history. Without any effort on the part
| OF her citizens, she has expanded into her
present splendid proportions. Her real
estate has steadily advanced in price,
and her limits have from time to time
been enlarged without any definite pur-
pose on the part of anybody to do any
thing specially in her behalf.
Her future looks bright. One of her
great railroads is spushing toward the
West, and will soon tap the coal and iron
regions of Alabama, and afford an outlet
to the seaboard for the grain fields of the
great West. The other Of her great rail-
roads is planning to capture part OF the
trade Of Central America. In the course
of year or two the river will be deep
ened to twenty-eight feet to the sea, al
fording a channel that will float the
largest ships of the world.
What, then, is in tbs way OF making Sa.
vannah large city5 There is nothing,
except the conservative spirit of her ciLi-
zens. If they will only catch a little Of
the energy and spirit of enterprise dis
played by the citizens of towns in Ala
bama and Florida which are now having
boOms, and put some of their boarded
thousands into legitimate manufacturing
and business enterprises, they can push
Savannah ahead with a rapidity that will
be both surprising and gratifying. Let
them make an effort. They can get up a
boom for Savannah, with her solid advan-
tages, that will make the projected booms
for Macon, Atlanta and Augusta appear
to be very insignificant affairs in COM
parison with it.

The New York sun has discovered a
candidate for the Presidency whom it is
disposed to boom. The gentleman is
William T. Coleman, of California. He
was born on the last day of February,
In 1924, which was leap year, and has
therefore had but fifteen birthdays. The
sun would do well to try again. The
political opponents of It's candidate might
start the report that he is Frederic, the
hero Of "The Pirates Of Penzanoe," and
they would never consider satisfactory
any explanation he might make. A de-
fonsivo campaign. the Sun ought to
know, generally results in failure.

BILE that they will pass over all OF Its
the various branches before they return,
and 1t may be that they will seek TO find
out where other branches ana connec
tiens can be built with advantage to the

They should not fail to investigate the
claims of Columbia, Ala, for conneo.
ton at Blakely, Ga. The distance be-
tween these two points is very short, and
to connect them with iron rails would
cost comparatively small sum.
CoisssAi9 ia thriving place, and her
people n 49, Nm prosperous. With
railroad con1iocrrAah3j aid them they
would push their town ahead rapidly, and
the country around it would soon DO

itself, would also aid In increasing savan.
